    the back is to crawl under a rock or the burial place of a saint.
    Barley water is a very good cure for the pain in the back also.
    Another good cure for toothache is to get a frog and put its leg into the tooth where the pain is. There was a woman living in Carrigans the name of Mrs McHugh and she got that cure for her teeth. She thought it a very good cure.
    A good cure for a bite from a dog is to pull a hair from the dog and put it in the wound.
